The project is a biopic of the last 2 years of Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer’s life leading up to his murder in 1959. It details his life post Little Rascals as a bear hunter, cheating husband, alcoholic and his self destructive desperation to get back in the business. It also depicts the behind the scenes of the making of his last film, Stanley Kramer’s The Defiant Ones. A movie if he had lived, would have revitalized his career.
Stanley Kramer’s widow is one of the producers. Peter Chelsom (Security, top rated on Netflix last year, The Space Between Us with Gary Oldman, Serendipity, Shall We Dance, The Mighty, Funny Bones, Hear My Song) is directing and Jim Sturgess (currently a new movie directed and starring Katie Holmes, and Home Before Dark on Paramount Plus, also Across the Universe, Cloud Atlas, 21) as Carl.
